this is young Khabib, vs prime RDA, and people still deny the greatness of this man, there is no one at LW even up till now can beat this man, not Oliveira, not even Makhachev, he is once in a lifetime talent, too good of a mma wrestler and grappler, outstanding fight iq, titanium chin, beast cardio, ferocious gnp, elusive defensive stand up, case closed..
This was prime RDA too. He won 5 straight before this fight & 5 straight after this including the lightweight belt from Pettis.
for people who aren't aware, this is when rafael was in BEAST MODE. he won five straight before this fight, then five after to win the lightweight belt. this, imo is one of khabibs most impressive victories. rafael dos anjos was unstoppable at this point in his career.
In the UFC world where everyone bleed..This is the guy who never bled...Khabib the 🦅🦅🦅
"I'm gonna wrestle him all day. Make him tired. Make him tap. This is my plan."
It's good that Khabib has made a lot of mma fans appreciate agressive grappling
To give you guys some context here, this is RDA in his prime, RDA went on a 10-1 (only loss being to Khabib here) streak, winning the LW belt. He was thoroughly dominated by a young Khabib who was not even in his prime yet.
Not only did Nurmagomedov win all 29 of his fights, but even every single decision victory was unanimous. In every way, this guy was the best.
Khabib’s stand up is sneaky good because he has everyone so scared about the takedown, he can catch a lot of guys with hooks and overhands, especially when he fakes the level change
The fact that this man Khabib went 29-0 only lost 1 or 2 rounds. Never been cut, bruised, never bled. Just insane.
Dos Anjos won the belt 1 year (in 2015) later having 4 fights... whilst Khabib next fight was after 2 years (2016). If Khabib never got injured during that time we could have had around 5-6 years of prime Khabib fighting and defending the belt.
Can we all appreciate the fight that Khabib treated a BEAST FIGHTER like Dos Anjos, like a RAGDOLL?? This guy is just INSANE!!
khabib pressure is insane ! out of this world .
Honestly this fight was the fight that sold me on the eagle being the best in the division he man handled rda who happens to be one of the most well rounded and respected fighters in the decade honestly a real world class warrior who can do it all and it was like a field day for khabib
I remember this fight as the "real" test for Khabib. In my mind if he could beat RDA, especially at this point in time, it would cement him as "that dude" at least in my mind. RDA was arguably the most well rounded lightweight and was in absolute beast mode going 10-1 during this streak with this being his one loss. I was impressed of course and even more so now looking back at it. Khabib is just the most dominant. I get goosebumps watching Islam fight because of the similarity in styles but man what a legend. both of them.
He’s been doing this for his entire life. He’s fully aware when someone attempted an armbar, triangle, guillotine, kimura. Dos Anjos really tried everything there
"Everyone is a champion until they met Khabib" - Mike Tyson
I remember watching this fight and saying wow khabib is some athlete. People really underestimate just how athletic he is. His speed is something to behold
Top of my list for one tuff MMA specialist, earned his undefeated record, khabib prayers for you and your family,much respect your way ,your dad's smiling from heaven your way, 🙏🙏🙏 amen amen amen
